Flamepoint. I'm sorry if appear ungrateful and/or wasting peoples time. From the advice given I have decided against two ovens as I said. It will only add 2.35kW to the ring and not 5. I know it is a 30A final ring and not been interfered with since installation and therefor I trust it as I do...

Thanks for all your help guys, but Taylor. There are a couple of reasons why I don't want to consider the extra cable option. 1 is that the CU is very old and 2 there is no easy option to cable to the kitchen from that unit either. I have shelved that idea. My only option now is for a single...

Most are stand alone cookers. The only built in are singles and are but few. Thanks for the links Pre WW2.

Gas ovens are not sold now and the CU is very old and would need replacing is amendment was needed.

We have no washing machine or tumble drier in the kitchen. The only other large drawer of power is the kettle rated at 2.5 - 3kW. We that make you pros happier or have I got to go down the additional cable route?

I'm sorry I wrote this in a hurry. The max. power draw is quoted at 2.35kW and twice that would be near 5kW. Which I was questioning as a possible problem for a double socket out - till I read some other the answers here.

As I have a large gas double oven, which unfortunately cannot be replaced. I am forced to have electric. However as it has to occupy a 900mm hole a double oven would be ideal. But I do not have or could provide a 30A (or whatever) source for it (solid floor and no available capacity on CU) Long...

A replacement indoors will be a messy affair if the outside one is still open. Sure, I can assume the worst. But what happens if it cracks or breaches in an attempt to open it?

I have a Essex & Suffolk mains stop cock within my front garden wall. I also have another just inside my house under floorboard. The house is 80 years old and I've owned it for the last 50. Recently the jumper fell in my house stop cock and with advice turned it 3/4 times and the jumper...

I want to install 2 ovens into a tall unit which housed a large gas oven. The kitchen was installed 30 years ago and the cabinet depth is only 550mm. Assuming I can get over that hurdle the best I could achieve would be that both ovens would sit tight against a plastered brick wall. Are there...

Although not Hotpoint, but the retailers seems to believe it to be true. In the meantime I will email Hotpoint - thanks

Having seen your reply, it is something I was concerned with. Could anyone else offer an opinion as to whether it would be bad practice, having (on a ring) a double socket outlet to provide power to 2 x single ovens (with 13A plugs already fitted) potentially drawing 20A ie. 2 x 10A approx. if...

Thanks for all the answers / advice.

Cable is 1.2m with 3 pin plug on both. No double cooker socket in existence as a gas oven has been in situ for decades. Top oven will reach newly installed 2 way socket on ring mounted above unit. But bottom oven will be too far away. Obviously I can extend the flex but am concerned about...

I am installing 2 single 13A Built in oven to replace existing gas type that are not sold now. The ring in the kitchen is fine and I can intercept it above the units and install a double socket outlet which is all that is required for the ovens supplied with 3 pin plugs. However I believe the...

I've not seen the condition of the system water yet, until I drain it for the F3 introduction. The kettling is not that bad, but hasn't been cleaned or protected for years and my only concern was the over concentration of the cleaner and whether 2 days was enough.

After a recent boiler service it was confirmed that I had kettling. It is a 15 year old Ideal Standard boiler, 2 motorised valves, header tank and 9 rads. It was suggested that a powerflush might be too much for this ageing system.My intention is to drain, refill with F3 and run for 2 days...

The only 1/2" x 1/2" Flexi Hose I found was the cheapo from Toolstation. I'll continue looking and find a WRAS approved one. Thanks.

I have a broken cistern and the replacement doesn't fit perfectly with the hard coppered feed. I have a an isolator valve (40 yo) that doesn't close completely and I therefor wish to change that at the same time as plumbing in the new bottom fill cistern valve. The simplest way (I see) is a flat...

Thanks for the advice/ info. I think that covers the questions and I'll pass it on. Many thanks again.
